Translink will operate their Easter holiday timetable on Easter Monday and Tuesday, 21 and 22 April so it's a good idea to check via their website before you travel. Additionally there will be disruption to the Belfast Dublin rail service.
Essential engineering works will take place Saturday 19, Sunday 20 and Easter Monday, 21 April between Lisburn and Portadown, with bus substitution services operating. Irish Rail are also planning engineering works between Dublin and Dundalk. Both local rail and cross border Enterprise services will be impacted.
On the above dates rail replacement buses will operate between Lisburn and Portadown. Normal rail service will operate between Belfast Grand Central and Lisburn
Also on these dates rail replacement buses will operate express between Belfast Grand Central Station and Dublin Connolly. Stopping service will serve Belfast Grand Central Station, Portadown, Newry, Dundalk and Dublin Connolly
Translink’s Director of Commercial Operations David Cowan said, “Whether you’re commuting or planning a day out, we want to keep everyone better connected by bus and train.
“We have increased capacity to popular tourist locations and offer a range of attractive, everyday fare offers such as friends and family tickets starting from £10 for up to 2 adults and 4 children for a days unlimited travel.
“Special family trains will be running to Portrush on Easter Monday and Easter Tuesday, leaving Belfast Grand Central Station at 9.40am and returning at 6.25pm. Friends & Family tickets can be booked online at www.translink.co.uk for £24.
David concluded: "With our wide range of services and good value tickets available including 25% off rail and Ulsterbus day return fares after 9.30am, we're looking forward to welcoming more people on board this Easter”.
